The negative feedback regulation of vasocontraction by potassium channels varies during maturation depending on the channel type. A dominating contribution of K 7 channels to the regulation of basal tone and agonist-induced contraction was observed in arteries of 10- to 15-day-old animals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
